Aston Villa (A) | Post-Match Thread

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet. But there was a moment when Walker kept the ball in (play) 'in extremis' with a sort of back heel that was followed by one of those 50-pass moves resulting in that chance that Mahrez crossed towards Foden. Credit to the Villa defender who got back and conceded a corner. If he hadn't, Foden would have had a tap-in. And we would be talking about one of the great team goals of all time. As it was, the TV team didn't bother to comment on it. And it will be forgotten forever.

Yes, I clocked it too. I hate it when that happens. Something a bit similar happened against Dortmund. Just before we scored the second KDB picked the ball up deep, dropped his shoulder, weaved in and out of several players and hit the keeper. It would have been a wonder goal and because of a few inches it is lost forever.

Great user name by the way. Doubt there are many other fans on here!

....Most confusing moment of the night was Zinchenko ducking under that ball that went to a Villa player, any thoughts on that?

Probably didn't want to miss-hit it and let Villa player run onto it, it was easier to defend it.

Get In! Well played CITY!
That was a big win, especially after Stones got sent off.
We were very comfortable after they went down to 10 men, i'd be fuming if one of our players lost it like that, but anyway....a performance of Champions!

We seem to be getting a lot of compliments from players/managers and pundits. Forget all the media propaganda and our initial mistake joining the super cunts. Real football people know we stood up when it counted. Mistakes happen all the time, it’s how you respond that matters.

That usually only happens when the player's heard a shout to leave it. Could have been the Villa player shouting...

What’s he said mate ..

He said Stones red was a yellow and for 25 minutes after they scored they couldn't get near us, our passing and movement was magnificent. McGinn has said we were a nightmare to play against and the best team they've faced.
